If you look at www.freebmd.org.uk you will find a marriage in Newport in March quarter 1923 of Albert L LNANNING and Emily DAYMOND. There do not seem to have been any LANNING births in succeeding years with mother's maiden name shown as DAYMOND. However she may have been a widow, as Albert Edward S DAYMOND married in Sep Qr 1907 to Emily LAURENCE born about 1886. Albert E S DAYMOND died in December quarter 1918 aged 32, probably leaving two children born 1910 and 1914. In 1911 census Albert DAYMOND ran a grocer's shop in Corporation Road. There don't seem to be any LANNING births after 1923 with mother's maiden name LAURENCE either. I have not found a death for Albert in Newport. He may have moved elsewhere in old age, perhaps to live with or near step-son's family. There is a death in 1961 of an Albert E Lanning in Middlesex which may be relevant.
